[tps_title]Around the Continent[/tps_title]
Our Around the Continent feature is back with so many leagues back in action. We intend to keep you abreast of all the news from around the European continent so make sure to check it out every week.
So far Spain, Portugal, France, Holland, Ireland, Belgium, Italy, Austria and Poland have kicked off their seasons. The Serbian, Hungarian and Swiss seasons get started this coming weekend. The Turkish league resumes this weekend after a three month hiatus.
We do everything we can to stay on top of developments in each country but cannot always keep up with it so this is where we need your help. Keep us informed of events when they happen in your country. Don’t hesitate to let us know if we have missed something or made a mistake. If you have a tournament write to us.
Austria

In a game billed as a must win for both teams, the opening game of the Austrian season between the defending champion Vienna Vikings and arch rivals the Swarco Raiders did not disappoint. The Vikings prevailed 26-21 to set the tone for the season.
Belgium
The Belgian season is in full swing. In the Flemish league the Ghent Gators are firmly entrenched in first with a 4-0 record. In fact, in those four games the Gators have scored 144 points while giving up a mere six points. Their latest victims were the Antwerp Diamonds who were blanked 22-0 by the Gators. In the French conference, the Brussels Tigers, finalists in the Belgian Bowl in 2014, are undefeated at 3-0 in Group 1.
